Chapter 1767 Sunrise Hawaii

That evening, St. George's Castle in the south of Mumbai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This castle built in the middle of the last century, is the British royal family members in Mumbai's palace, the main body of the building is Gothic style, incorporating many modern elements, surrounded by city walls, arrow towers, battlements, moats, a total of residential areas, office areas and worship areas, of which the residential areas include master rooms and guest rooms, restaurants, painting studios, dance halls, concert halls, swimming pools, office areas include offices, audience halls, living rooms, conference halls, government halls, telecommunications rooms, etc., and the worship area is a royal chapel, during the stay of royal family members in India, Prayer was prayed here.

St. George's Castle is surrounded by buildings such as Victoria Railway Station, Bombay University, Science City of India, Prince of Wales Museum, India Gate, Radio Station, etc., which is the true heart of Mumbai City.

The Taj Mahal Hotel, where the prime stayed at the beginning, is located on the west side of the India Gate, three kilometers south of Fort St. George. At present, the building is being disinfected, and the building will be renovated in the future, and the exterior walls and rooms will be renovated. After all, including Sheng Shicai, his wives and concubines, and his subordinates, thousands of people died there, and if some changes in the building structure were not made, the guests who lived in it would have psychological shadows.

For the disgusting shape and taste of Indian food, An Yi didn't want to feel it a second time after eating it once, so An Yi specially brought a chef to make a beautiful Sichuan cuisine feast.

"It's delicious!"

Lyuschenkov's daughter, Laili, finished eating the spring water bean curd in the delicate porcelain bowl in front of her with a spoon, stretched out her delicate tongue, spit out a spicy breath, and turned her head to look at An Yi, who was talking to her father.

Raili is fourteen years old this year, when Lyushenkov took her to visit Syria two years ago, she was still a little girl who did not open her face, she had not seen her for two years, her body was stubbed, and her face shape had changed from a small round face with baby fat to a beautiful goose egg face, coupled with fair and delicate skin without pores, round lips, long eyelashes, jewel-like light brown eyes and a high nose, she had unconsciously become a stunning beauty.

Because of the care of the Islamic Diana, today's dishes are based on beef, lamb and seafood.

The cow is a sacred relic of Hinduism, and Hindus believe that the cow is both a symbol of reproduction and a basic guarantee of human survival, so Hindus do not eat beef, although there is a cattle industry here, but only milk, butter, and cow dung for fuel. Since cattle cannot be slaughtered, in most cities and villages in India, old cows, sick cows, and crippled cattle abound, and cattle can roam freely everywhere, sacrosanct, so many cattle, has become a huge burden on society. And strangely, the plague did not cause any trouble to cattle, and more than 300 million cattle still live leisurely on the land of the subcontinent.

Of course, for Chinese, there is no such psychological barrier at all, the only thing you need to worry about the cattle in India being contaminated by the virus, so today's family banquet was not made from local materials, beef and lamb were seconded from the garrison, and were transported all the way here by truck by ***.

At present, Siberia, Central Asia and India have been connected by roads, and supplies are continuously transported to Persia and India through Afghanistan, fully ensuring the supply of major cities and front-line troops.

The railway running through western Afghanistan is currently under construction in full swing and is expected to be completed by the middle of next year, when the Central Asian railway network, the Indian railway network, and the Persian railway network will be perfectly connected through the city of Kushka in Turkmenistan to the city of Jemain in the western Indian Sea province, and the transportation of troops and materials will be more convenient and faster.

Diana smiled and used chopsticks to put a piece of cold spicy lung slices into Laili's bowl, showing off:

"Come, try it, I went to the kitchen and made it myself...... This dish is not called lung slices, but it has nothing to do with the lungs, it is made of beef heart, beef tongue, tripe, etc. as raw materials, accompanied by soy sauce, red oil, chili, pepper noodles, sesame noodles and other mixed food, it is large and thin, glutinous and flavorful, spicy and fragrant, delicate and slag, the taste is very good!

"When I was in Tashkent, Brother Yi taught me to learn Chinese and use chopsticks, so he taught me how to make this dish, I think it's amazing, those unwanted offal on the cow, after cooking, such a comprehensive, supplemented by seasonings, the taste is surprisingly good, so I learned!"

Raili was very surprised and asked, "Brother An can also cook?" ”

"That's right!"

Diana's eyebrows fluttered, she glanced at An Yi affectionately, leaned into Raili's ear and said: "He is not machismo at all, not only can he cook, but also can compose lyrics and music, can tinker with some mechanical gadgets, can manage the country, lead troops to fight, I don't know what he can't do...... Over the past year, he has taught me several beautiful English songs, including "do-re-mi", which is very interesting! ”

Raili looked forward to it and whispered, "Sister, sing it to me later, okay?" ”

"Laili, why are you pestering your sister again?" Lyuschenkov's wife, Yelena, reproached lovingly.

Yelena used to be a dancer in the Moscow Ballet, and at a theatrical performance, as a combat hero of the Ukrainian Military District, he met Yelena unexpectedly and fell in love. Unfortunately, a year after their marriage, as soon as the two had their first child, Lyuschenkov was transferred to China to assist the Chinese revolution.

Yelena's father was a high-ranking officer in the National Defense Committee, and under his care, and at the same time there was also the factor of Blyukher's friendship with Whampoa, and Lyshenkov, who returned to the Soviet Union from China, was promoted all the way through the ranks of the Far Eastern Military District, from regiment commander and division commander all the way to the position of commander of the Red Banner Army. Unfortunately, after the purge began, Blyukher's father-in-law, an official belonging to the Zinoviev and Kamenev factions, was suppressed and shot, and if it were not for Blyukhel's protection, Lyushenkov might have been purged long before the Far East became independent from the Soviet Union.

Blyukhel's eldest son, Ivanovo, and his second son, Lipetsk, are currently serving in the Far Eastern Army, and only the youngest daughter, Raily, is with her parents.

Raili stuck out her tongue cutely, and then buried her head in the spicy lung slices in the bowl, and Diana smiled and said:

"It's nothing, Mrs. Elina, Rai Li is uninhibited, she suits my spleen and stomach, and I like to spend time with her. You don't know, I'm quite bored in Afghanistan, and when I have nothing to do, in addition to practicing Chinese on the radio, I read some Chinese novels, listen to Chinese music or songs played on tape recorders and record players, and then watch movies from Nanhua and other countries around the world that Brother Yi specially sent me.

"Raili is only three years younger than me, we have a lot of common language, and I hope she will be a guest in Mazar-i-Sharif in the future......"

Yelena glanced at An Yi and her husband with some concern, and then smiled at Diana: "Don't worry, there will be a chance in the future!" ”

At this moment, Lyuschenkov, sullen, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

Slavic *** good drinking, Sichuan South Group in Xinjing distillery, the introduction of Kweichow Moutai brewing technology production of Moutai, although the stamina is enough, but for a time can not show power, for Lyuschenkov, just like drinking cold boiled water without pressure, at this moment on the ground next to the wine table, there are already three empty wine bottles.

After talking with An Yi in the morning, in the afternoon, accompanied by An Yi, Lyuschenkov looked listless when he visited several tourist attractions in Mumbai.

After An Yi broke the illusion of this mentor at Whampoa, he didn't care about the other party's deliberate sense of alienation, he still took care of it, and told some interesting stories about Whampoa from time to time, which made Lyshenkov cry and laugh, and now the resentment in his heart has disappeared, but he is more and more worried about the future of the Far Eastern Republic.

"An Yi, I heard that you fought a battle with the Japanese army at the border with Burma, what were the results?" Lyuschenkov asked casually.

An Yi filled the wine glass in front of Lyuschenkov, and then replied respectfully: "It's not the Japanese army, it's the Siamese puppet army." After the Siamese government was driven out of the country by us, with the support of the *** people, an armed force of fifteen divisions was once again established. According to intelligence, it was the Second Army and the Third Army that attacked our border area this time, and the Second Army was responsible for the main attack, but under the strong counterattack of our army, within 10 hours the counterattack on the enemy's sortie town of Kronwa was successful, and then at about 11 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the second town of Padao in the enemy's rear was taken.

"Fearing that the Japanese would take back the arrows fired at the Pacific, we adopted a patient attitude, and the attacking force stopped at the town of Padao, from where it was possible to intimidate the enemy's coastal railways and roads and take the strategic initiative. As long as we need it, we can go to southern Myanmar. ”

Lyuschenkov nodded slightly and said: "Isn't there any further news about the Japanese army's military operations in the Pacific region?" ”

"Some eyebrows! Our intelligence department, through constantly listening to the broadcasts of *** and integrating intelligence from all sides, can basically determine that the Japanese army has launched military operations in the Philippines, Guam, Wake Island and New Guinea at the same time. Among them, Guam and Wake Island have been placed under the control of the Japanese army, the landing operation in the Philippine Islands has also been successful, and the operation on the island of New Guinea has gone smoothly, but the only pity is that there has been no movement on the Hawaiian side. ”

Speaking of this, An Yi had a smile on his face: "However, judging from the general trend, the scale of the Pacific War is constantly expanding, and it is already a sure thing that the wolf's ambition will be confronted by the United States." The only suspense at the moment is how long the Japanese army will be able to hold back the Americans? The only chance for the Japanese army to win is to occupy the Hawaiian Islands, relying on Hawaii's natural harbor and the current superior navy to directly threaten the west coast of the United States and shake the Americans' will to resist.

"Previously, *** has occupied the Kamchatka Peninsula, and can attack Alaska, where the United States has a weak defense, through the Aleutian Islands at any time, and if it controls the Hawaiian Islands and Australia again, the Americans have no foothold in the Pacific region, and there is no other way than to choose to fight to the death with ***."

Seeing An Yi's unconcealed joy, Lyuschenkov nodded knowingly: "I guess this is the situation you most expect to see, right?" ”

An Yi smiled without answering, filled the wine glass in front of him, raised the wine glass, and saluted: "Teacher, when I was in Huangpu, who would have thought of today's situation?" One is a major shooting instructor, the other is an ordinary engineer cadet, and now we are in charge of each other, worrying about the future of the country and the nation, and there is nothing more strange than this! No matter what the situation develops in the future, we are now at the pinnacle of our personal career, and this alone is worth a big deal! Here, cheers! ”

Lyuschenkov raised his wine glass, collided with An Yi, and drank it all.

The feast lasted for two hours and ended with Lyuschenkov getting drunk.

Originally, An Yi also wanted to discuss with Lyuschenkov about specific assistance matters to see what strategic materials the Far Eastern Republic needed, but he had to give up for the time being.

At half past ten o'clock in the evening, as the night grew darker, An Yi was in the concert hall of Fort St. George's, teaching Diana and Raili a new English song, and Yelena had already accompanied her husband back to the guest room to rest. At this time, Shen Fengdao suddenly walked into the room and told An Yi a good news - the Japanese army successfully landed in Hawaii, and the war is currently developing in the direction of favoring the *** people.

An Yi was itchy when he heard this, and hurriedly told Diana to accompany Raili well, and then came to the telecommunications room with Shen Fengdao and asked the Intelligence Department of the General Staff to send the detailed information to him.

After half an hour, the battle report with a thickness of more than 30 pages was completely delivered, and An Yi read it carefully before he understood the mystery of the Japanese army's troop movement.

The Hawaiian Islands are located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and are the largest island group in the Polynesian archipelago, with a total area of more than 132 large and small islands with a total area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, but only eight of them are relatively large to live in. Of the eight islands, Oahu is not the largest in terms of area, but it has the best conditions in all aspects and is well developed, so it is the best in this archipelago.

Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, is located on the island of Oahu, and the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Hawaii is Honolulu on Oahu, which is home to 80% of the population of the Hawaiian Islands, as well as the world-famous Waikiki beach and the U.S. Navy base Pearl Harbor.

With the U.S. Navy withdrawing from Pearl Harbor, the remaining U.S. Army laid a large number of mines in the harbor and then deployed layers of defenses on Oahu, as follows:

On Wikiki Beach in the southeast, three infantry battalions, two each with a machine-gun company and an artillery company, dug trenches, built civil bunkers, pulled barbed wire in front of the positions, and laid mines in some key areas.

The city of Honolulu, next to Wikikiki Beach, also has three infantry battalions with a machine-gun company to defend the city and the port. The troops erected fortified barricades, dug trenches and artillery holes, and converted several buildings on major traffic routes into forts.

Northwest of Honolulu, at Pearl City at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, a strategic reserve is deployed: ten infantry battalions, five artillery batteries, and three machine-gun batteries. Almost all the vehicles collected from all over the island: trucks, cars, buggies, jeeps, motorcycles, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, bicycles - all were gathered here so that reserves could go where they were needed.

Eva Beach, southwest of Oahu, is deployed with six infantry battalions, three artillery batteries and two machine-gun batteries. As this was the most likely direction for the Japanese to attack, the Eva beachhead defenders constructed as many trenches and bunkers as possible, especially to cover artillery and machine-gun positions, as well as anti-aircraft cover with tree trunks, fishing nets, and foliage.

Between Sunset Beach in the northwest of Oahu and Haleiwa, the largest coastal town in the north of the island, three infantry battalions, one artillery and one machine gun company, were deployed, and a large number of field bunkers were also constructed near the beachhead.

In addition, in Wahiawa, in the central valley of Oahu, three companies are deployed to guard the barracks and warehouses there, while the other two companies, plus several militia detachments, are scattered at key points on the east and west coasts of the island as sentinel units. About a regiment of baggage troops, dispersed to the coastal batteries of the navy, assisted the naval artillery in operations.

After the withdrawal of the Navy, the Army guarding Oahu Island aims to hold out for at least a month, giving the Japanese maximum damage, so as to demonstrate the indomitable spirit of the United States and maintain the honor and faith of the United States Army.

Before the war, the Japanese planned to simultaneously bombard Wikiki Beach in the southeast of Oahu and Eva Beach and Sunset Beach in the southwest of the island with three fleets of comparable size. At the same time, one part of the carrier-based aviation unit will directly support the landing operation of the *** Army on Sunset Beach, and the other part will concentrate on bombing the US barracks and monitoring the main roads, so as to strike at the US troops moving through the roads at any time.

As early as the night of the first two days of the attack, the Japanese parachuted about a large group of Japanese troops into the Kolau Mountains on the east side of Oahu, guarding the road and bridge, and guarding against sabotage by the American army. At the same time, after the launch of the landing operation, the telephone connection between Sunset Beach and its command headquarters was cut off.

On January 10, just after the sun appeared over the sea level in the east, three seaplanes flew over downtown Honolulu and flew east to the vicinity of Wikiki Beach, hovering slowly at an altitude of about 1,500 meters. At around 6:30 a.m., several seaplanes also flew over Sunset Beach and circled around it.

At 6:40 a.m., another group of planes flew near Eva Beach and dropped dozens of bombs on the town behind the beach.

At 6:50, two battleships of the 1st Naval Squadron "Nagato" and "Mutsu", led by three light cruisers and twelve destroyers, began shelling Wikiki Beach.

Outside the range of the U.S. shore defense guns on Oahu, the naval guns thundered like an earthquake, and one after another huge shells exploded clusters of tall and scattered sand pillars on the beach, and after slightly correcting the trajectory, the barrage extended to the coconut groves and hills behind the beach, and suddenly, countless broken tree trunks and coconut fruit cannonballs flew in all directions -- the most beautiful beach on Oahu suddenly turned into the most dangerous hell of death.

A quarter of an hour later, the four battleships of the Second Sentai "Ise", "Hinata", "Fuso", and "Yamashiro" shelled Sunset Beach, and the four heavy cruisers of the Sixth Sentai "Aoba", "Kinugasa", "Furutaka", and "Kako" of the Sixth Sentai that landed on the escort force also temporarily joined the bombardment. A gray-brown clearing of emissive stretches emerges in the orchard.

At 7:20 a.m., the battleships "Kongo", "Haruna", "Kirishima", and "Hiei" of the Third Sentai and the heavy cruisers "Takao", "Atago", "Chokai" and "Maya" of the Fourth Sentai began to shell Eva Beach.

At 7:35 p.m., a large formation of 50 carrier-based bombers dropped more than 500 aerial bombs on the town behind Eva Beach in just two or three minutes, almost leveling the town.

At 7:50 a.m., the U.S. commander received a report from the Eva side defense forces that a large number of landing ships had been found outside the bay. As this was consistent with the pre-battle judgment, the American commander immediately sent five infantry battalions, three artillery batteries and two machine gun batteries from Pearl City to reinforcements.

Shortly after the reinforcements departed, the commander of the Wikiki Beach Defense Force called and reported that the Wikiki side had discovered a Japanese landing convoy! Just when the U.S. commander was shocked, another warning came from Sunset Beach, and the U.S. commander was confused, and could only judge that Wikiki Beach and Sunset Beach belonged to the feint attack of the Japanese army.

However, the American commander apparently did not expect that Sunset Beach was the real target of the Japanese landing.

In the landing operation, the Japanese army fired a large number of tear gas canisters with naval guns, which instantly disintegrated the combat effectiveness of the defenders, and then the army soldiers took the landing craft and successfully rushed to Sunset Beach, and the subsequent battle was almost one-sided, and in just two hours, Sunset Beach was lost.

Because the Japanese airdropped paratroopers in advance, cutting off Sunset Beach from its headquarters, the U.S. commander was not given further warning, so he was negligent in his defense of northwest Oahu.

The tank and armored units of the army, as well as the artillery units, began at eleven o'clock at noon and officially landed at Sunset Beach. Before the landing of the heavily equipped troops, the Japanese sappers had already carved several improvised roads on the beach that led directly to the road along the island.

By the time U.S. military command found out that they had been deceived and confirmed that the landing vessels at Eva Beach and Wikiki Beach were empty, the villages of Valari, Kawila, and Kuyuma in northern Oahu had been declared lost. The U.S. command immediately transferred three infantry battalions stationed in Haleiwa to reinforce Sunset Beach, and from the remaining troops in Pearl City, three infantry battalions and all artillery and machine gun companies were transferred to Haleiwa.

The U.S. troops attacked by Japanese tanks and armored units, and retreated back to the city of Wayami, which is close to the southern end of the beach, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, but under the continuous attacks of the Japanese landing force, the U.S. troops finally could not hold on and retreated to the city of Haleiwa.

The commander was also a brave man, leaving the infantry to continue the siege of Haleiwa, and then sent tanks and armoured units to bypass Haleiwa and turn south, along the plains between the eastern and western mountains of Oahu, all the way south to conquer Wahiawa in the middle of the valley of Oahu.

The detailed battle report came to an abrupt end here.

Don't look at this war report so briefly, but the intelligence department is a synthesis of secret spies hidden within the Japanese army, news broadcasts to the outside world, and unencrypted telegrams on the island. Since the Germans knew that their Enigma cipher machine had been deciphered by the British, they strongly demanded that the diplomatic department of *** must replace its "LA code", otherwise it would be very likely that the secret would be leaked. In this case, the stubborn foreign affairs department finally changed its own cipher code and adopted a stricter cipher machine, so far, the code-breaking department of Nanhua has not deciphered the new code used by the navy, army and diplomatic department.

However, the South China side did not decipher it, and the United States and Britain still gained nothing, which is the fundamental reason why the Americans lost so badly in the Pearl Harbor incident.

After reading the telegram, An Yi asked the staff officers about the climate in the Middle East in the next few days, and then said to Lieutenant General Li Yufu, director of the Communications Department of the General Staff Department, who was standing beside him:

"Telegraphed to Yang Fei and Hu Jialin that the 'Desert Storm' plan was officially advanced, and an attack on Huzistan was launched on January 15! In this operation, it is necessary to bring all the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf into control, and if the goal is not achieved, the troops will not be withdrawn! In the current situation of mourning for the Allies, we must use a victory to demonstrate our existence and status! ”
